FACEBOOK is blocking all your friends in its recent release so what that means is that your Facebook feed will be limited EXCEPT for the 250 they choose. You may not have that many friends but even if you don’t you should still unblock it for your sake. If you do, this is an annoyance because you could be missing out very important information of your friends. It’s OK to undo the block, we’re gonna show you how. So here’s what you do.

In the new Facebook, you can also see your most recent photos uploaded display prominently in the mini feed. The feed is definitely not mini and it entice your friends to go to it. That’s great.
